Rk	Tm	W	L	W1	W2	W3	HLF	AHLF	Win Div%	Win WC%	Playoff%	1-Day	7-Day
1		98	61	95.1	97.8	96.7	.610	.628	100.0%	0.0%	100.0%	0.0%	0.0%
		The Angels have proven this season that if you can hit well enough, you can leave off the zero and make pitching nine percent of baseball.
2		86	73	96.3	95.7	95.7	.588	.607	0.0%	98.8%	98.8%	-0.8%	10.6%
		The A's lost again. Take your hat off to them. Losing this much while being this good is really hard to do.
3		95	64	92.4	90.0	89.8	.577	.597	100.0%	0.0%	100.0%	0.0%	0.0%
		Two homers in the ninth inning tied the game and set up Derek Jeter's walk-off single. That was nice, though I suppose flowers would have worked too.
4		93	65	94.1	94.7	93.4	.594	.574	100.0%	0.0%	100.0%	0.0%	0.0%
		This season the Nationals have thrown 36 wild pitches and 22,263 staid pitches.
5		89	70	86.3	87.9	86.7	.550	.570	96.5%	3.5%	100.0%	0.0%	4.3%
		The Tigers used 15 players in last night's game. Eleven of them started their career with different organizations.
6		84	75	88.5	84.7	85.0	.538	.558	0.0%	0.5%	0.5%	0.1%	-33.1%
		If the season would just go three more weeks, the Mariners would be under .500 and pass the A's for the second Wild Card spot.
7		91	68	89.8	93.9	92.1	.577	.557	100.0%	0.0%	100.0%	0.0%	0.0%
		Adrian Gonzalez is your MLB RBI leader so you can enjoy the next 30 seconds of trying to wipe that worthless tidbit out of your brain.
8		81	78	83.1	82.1	81.7	.516	.536	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	-0.1%
		The Blue Jays final pitcher in last night's game had the appropriate surname of Graveman.
9		87	72	85.8	89.0	89.2	.552	.532	11.3%	88.7%	100.0%	0.0%	9.7%
		Starling Marte anagram: Let Ring! Am Star! Horrible anagrammar, but it works.
10		76	83	78.5	85.4	85.4	.511	.531	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%
		In an interview Wil Myers said he can't wait for the season to be over. We feel ya, Wil.
11		83	76	80.8	81.2	79.7	.511	.531	0.0%	0.7%	0.7%	-0.2%	-7.8%
		Cleveland's season can be summed up in two words: Corey Kluber. Also wow! Also missed the playoffs again. Okay, fine, seven words.
12		87	72	82.3	77.0	77.2	.508	.528	3.5%	96.5%	100.0%	0.9%	26.3%
		You were told to trust the process. I hope you have process trusted.
13		86	73	84.8	87.0	86.0	.541	.521	0.0%	100.0%	100.0%	0.3%	0.4%
		The pitcher with the worst ERA on the Giants isn't Tim Lincecum, it's Mike Kickham who is clearly a made-up person so yeah it's actually Tim Lincecum.
14		88	71	81.5	83.8	83.2	.529	.509	88.7%	11.3%	100.0%	0.0%	0.0%
		In retrospect I'm not sure why the Cardinals traded for John Lackey and Justin Masterson given the above-league-average pitcher tree that grows behind the team offices.
15		82	77	76.1	74.9	75.9	.486	.506	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	-0.3%
		Derek Jeter singled to right field in his last Yankee Stadium at-bat and with that, all clutch died.
16		81	78	79.2	79.5	79.0	.501	.481	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	-0.3%	-9.2%
		The Brewers are eliminated. They are who we thought they were. They just did a weird job of showing it.
17		70	89	70.4	71.8	73.0	.448	.468	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%
		Christian Vazquez went 4-for-4 with a homer. If he can keep that up, the Red Sox will probably take a great defensive catcher who hits 1.000/1.000/2.000.
18		69	90	69.7	71.4	73.3	.446	.465	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%
		Next season the Astros will be much better. I know because they'll have a new manager!
19		77	82	80.3	75.1	75.0	.483	.463	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%
		Next season Matt Harvey comes back! 151 days until Spring Training starts!
20		68	91	71.8	70.7	70.7	.442	.462	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%
		Twins pitchers are last in the AL in strikeouts but their hitters are third in strikeouts so baby steps!
21		72	87	69.4	69.5	69.5	.441	.461	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%
		Jose Abreu has 35 homers and 35 doubles. He'd have 35 triples too but he has two out of re2pect for Derek Jeter.
22		76	82	75.9	75.7	74.9	.479	.459	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%
		The Marlins aren't deterred by Giancarlo Stanton's injury. They're going to try to extend his contract anyway. Probably be more successful if they just do it without telling him.
23		77	82	76.3	75.1	75.1	.477	.457	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	-0.9%
		The Braves new front office is like getting in a cab, telling the driver where to go, stopping halfway there, getting out, getting in a new cab and continuing to the same destination.
24		74	85	76.9	72.0	72.9	.465	.445	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%
		Jay Bruce had three hits and Brandon Phillips homered. Nice of you guys to show up!
25		76	83	74.8	70.5	71.5	.460	.441	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%
		The Padres are hitting .226 as a team, 51 points behind the league-leading Tigers. Sure, part of that is a park effect but part of that is also eww.
26		71	88	68.7	75.6	76.3	.458	.439	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%
		This is it, Cubs fans. The last season ever where you'll be an afterthought. Savor it. Your innocence is dying.
27		66	93	74.1	75.7	71.1	.451	.431	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%
		If you Google songs with the word hopeless in them there are 12,100,000 results, so that should be of some help, Rockies fans.
28		72	87	72.1	70.1	71.5	.449	.429	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%
		Ruben Amaro has been scouting Japanese pitcher Kenta Maeda and Cuban slugger Yosmani Tomas though it's possible this is just a ploy to avoid seeing Phillies games.
29		66	93	65.8	62.5	65.2	.408	.428	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%
		The Rangers have been caught stealing 57 times, but as any bad baserunner will tell you, you'll never reach second base if you don't try to steal.
30		63	96	65.6	65.4	65.5	.408	.389	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%
		Dave Stewart's first acts as Diamondbacks GM are to hire Terry Steinbach as assistant GM, Carney Lansford as Scouting Director, and Jose Canseco as mascot.
